Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.

In the same way that you can’t go to the gym, deadlift 225 lbs. for 5 reps one week and then expect to lift 405 lbs. for 5 reps the next week, you can’t expect to just wake up one day and be as mentally strong

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
1. Cold Showers
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.
toughness is to meditate.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
So how do you cultivate mental
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.
Add 1–2 minutes each week and, overtime, not only will you be mentally tougher, but you’ll be more present, less stressed, and more productive in your everyday life.
3. Turn Off the AC

Our lives are way too easy.

What one thing makes someone a very mature person?
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Cold showers suck. I’ve taken them (almost) everyday for nearly 6 years and they don’t suck any less today than they did when I started.
It’s funny…
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Start this off by doing it for one day.
7. Go Through Hell Week
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Challenge yourself to do something seemingly impossible for a short amount of time and you will walk away with more mental toughness than you’ve ever had before.
4. Meditate
DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)
Not only will you be saving the environment and helping retrain your body to internally regulate your temperature, but you’ll become stronger by saying “no” to ease, and “yes” to adversity.
5. Give Up a Vice
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Leave a bowl of candy on the table. Leave an open pack of cigarettes in your office. Go to an, *ahem* “gentlemanly” website and leave it open in a minimized browser.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Plain and simple.
2. One More Rep
Seriously.
While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.
Mental
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Whether it’s total sobriety combined with waking up at 5 a.m., daily exercise, and no television for a week.Or simply one week of giving up your strongest addiction.
strength.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.
